We live in world where everyone is constantly on the go and germs lay everywhere! Currently, with the COVID-19 pandemic, hand sanitiser has become an important aspect in our life. However, it is important to know the essential features of hand sanitiser to ensure you are protected against viruses and germs when running water and soap is not readily available. This blog explains the importance of this and how hand sanitiser comes to the rescue, becoming the next best option!
Alcohol-based hand sanitisers are an ideal defence against COVID-19 and other infectious common diseases. According to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), hand sanitisers with a formulation of at least 60 percent alcohol, effectively kill viruses and bacteria by destroying their outer coatings. When used correctly, hand sanitisers can kill up to 99.9% of germs, leaving your hands clean.
For a hand sanitiser to claim to kill specific organisms such as viruses, the TGA requires this to be regulated and assessed for safety, quality and effectiveness.
